Why do spring tutorials start with Maven projects?

Question

Java

I watch Spring training videos on IDea, I noticed that they always miss the opportunity to create a project from a Spring blank, and choose Maven. What's wrong with the Spring stub that comes with IDea?

Answer 1

If you think a little, you can come to the conclusion that any self-respecting developer should be able to create a project with handles. This is necessary in order to simply understand what's what and not feel discomfort from the fact that some kind of "magic" does everything for you. And when you learn how to create a project manually, you can use auxiliary tools with peace of mind. With the blank itself in IDEA, everything is in order.

Answer 2

Because all the examples on the official Spring website are using maven or gradle and do not depend on the IDE.
With IDEA it is more convenient to use maven.
Therefore, I strongly recommend learning the basics of maven.
